Canada Truckers Convoy

[Vutulaki]

I can't speak for them, but I thought its a pretty simple message.

No?

What do you think it means that you think they don't think it means?
asking honestly

Hijacking another country's symbol of defiance let alone one who you claim not to be a vassal state of. No I dont think they know what it means or its origins but of course you and the rest here will google it (unlike they have).

Do you know how many jews died fighting for Canadian freedoms you now enjoy?

Found this giant article full of high res pictures, and a clip of the MPs getting in a fiery debate over the truckers:

Honestly surprised Bergen and the other Conservative MPs arent just rolling over and bowing to Trudeau. The cynic in me suspects they are just chasing money in some round about way.

LOL @ the dailymail as a source.

Analysis / Bias
The Daily Mail is a known supporter of the Conservatives. They are also one of the pro-Brexit tabloids. According to a Reuters article, the Daily Mail published a controversial headline in response to a Brexit Court ruling criticizing the judges by branding them as ‘enemies of the people.’ According to CNBC, the Daily Mail has also been criticized by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to publish fake news articles and “hyped up” headlines and “mastered the art of running stories that aren’t true.” Further, CNBC reported that DMG media responded by saying, “DailyMail.com is the very antithesis of click-bait and hype headlines. We just tell stories better than anyone else.”

In review, the Daily Mail tends to publish stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded wordings such as “Woman, 63, ‘becomes PREGNANT in the mouth’ with baby squid after eating calamari”, which is a misleading headline. In 2017, Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as an ‘unreliable’ source. When it comes to sourcing information, they use minimal hyperlinked sourcing as well as sourcing to themselves. In general, most stories favor the right; however, the Daily Mail will report either side of the story is sensational enough.

Failed Fact Checks
Did the Daily Mail Delete a Story Reporting the U.S. Planned to Blame Assad for ‘False Flag’ Chemical Attacks? – Mostly True
“Google search spike suggests many people don’t know why they voted for Brexit.” – Mostly False
Is Using ‘Bug Spray’ to Get High an Alarming New Trend? – Mostly False
Did a White House Intern Make the ‘White Power’ Hand Gesture? – Unproven
Did ‘Melbourne Antifa’ Claim Responsibility for the Vegas Massacre? – False
Are Vigilante Protesters Digging Up Confederate Graves After Charlottesville Clashes? – Mostly False
“Racist picture of Democrat North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper emerges just days after he called on Ralph Northam to resign – DAILY MAIL.” – Pants on Fire

Theyre the Fox News of UK. No big secret they have a slant. Feel free to ignore any of the words though, its just an extensive photo gallery with footage from parliment.

The media is switching gears from "theyre all Nazis" to "theyre annoying the poor townsfolk". A small but significant sign they know this isnt going away so easily. The numbers are expected to swell significantly this weekend.

[Masato]

It's further than that. Now they are classifying it not as a 'protest' but as an 'occupation', which changes legally what responses may be authorized.

GoFundMe has been FROZEN, donations re-directed. They have shifted to something called GiveSendGo. Keeping an eye on it, see what happens.

Toronto is already building, this weekend will be historic

Prayers to everyone. Hope in keeping it peaceful and strong

[Luigi]

The "occupation" rhetoric coupled with the media pressuring police and RCMP makes it clear they are going in the direction of a militarized response. If it wasnt for phone cameras and the internet this already would have become the Winnipeg General Strike 2.0.

[Masato]

^^ They are setting up bouncy castles now for the kids.

Good luck with a militarized response, lololol

Heading into Toronto now with some friends, tons and tons of people at the meeting site. Heading down to queens Park right now. Will stitch together a video of the days events as soon as I'm able.
